Bieda makes an impact for Fremd

Playing her first season on the Fremd varsity softball team, Emily Bieda wasted little time making her presence felt.

With one out in the bottom of the eighth inning, the sophomore third baseman singled up the middle to score Tracy Welninski from third base for the winning run in Fremd's 2-1 victory over Prairie Ridge on Thursday in Palatine.

St. Viator 14, Marian Central 1 (5 inn.): Michelle Presslak (3-for-3, RBI) and Sam Hogan (3-for-3, 4 RBI, double) belted back-to-back home runs in the first inning and Hogan (3-1) went on to notch her third win of the season with relief help from sophomore Krystal Harris (2-for-4, 3 RBI).

Shortstop Tess Kaiser was the defensive star for the Lions (3-1), making a diving catch and a backhand stop deep in the hole.

Lions leadoff batter Gina Mastrodomenico went 3-for-3 with 3 RBI and a double.
